iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This vacuum isn't scared to take on the stairs, unlike some others. Like any mop or Vacuum Mop Combo Robot, it is susceptible to getting blocked by particles, like tennis shoes, thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

You can use the iRobot Home app to label rooms and establish no-go zones. You can also monitor the progress of your mops and their battery levels.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo J7+ is a part of the iRobot mop and robot vacuum lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities with the ability to deal with spills.

It also allows you to set Keep Out Zones (for rooms that the robot should avoid) and Clean Zones (for rooms it should keep clean).

The robotic arm is the most significant feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad hidden when not in use and lowers it for carpeting or hard flooring. In my testing, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot was not able to cross the rug, even after I moved it around several times.

The arm comes with a 240mL tank that can be easily pulled out and filled, making it easier to manage than the mop pads of many other 2-in-1 robots. It also utilizes iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology, which is more advanced than some systems of this type.
